Popliteus originates via a tendon from the lateral condyle of the femur with supplementary fibers from the arcuate popliteal ligament and the lateral meniscus (Standring 2016). It inserts onto the posterior surface of the tibia just above the soleal line (Standring 2016).

Exposure of the infrageniculate popliteal artery is achieved through a medial incision 1-2 cm posterior to the medial edge of the tibia with the leg externally rotated and the knee flexed 30 degrees (Figure 49.4a). The incision is extended a third of the way down the calf, with care taken to avoid injuring the GSV. The subcutaneous tissue is divided with electrocautery and the crural fascia is incised 1 cm posterior to the tibia extending to the semitendinosus tendon (Figure 49.4b). More proximal exposure can be obtained by dividing the tendons of the semitendinosus, gracilis, and sartorius muscles. The medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle is retracted posteriorly, exposing the popliteal fossa. The popliteal vein is often the first structure encountered, and bridging veins must be divided with 3-0 silk suture (Figure 49.4c). The origin of the soleus muscle is taken down from the soleal line. The anterior tibial vein crossing the popliteal artery bifurcation is exposed and is suture-ligated with 3-0 cardiovascular silk toward the popliteal vein; a silver clip is applied distally and the anterior tibial vein is divided in the middle. One can see the origin of the anterior tibial artery (ATA) and tibioperoneal trunk from the distal popliteal artery. The arteriotomy

Soleus - immediately deep to the gastrocnemius, with an arched attachment from the posterior of the proximal tibia (creating the soleal line) and fibula, distally it becomes tendinous to blend with gastrocnemius. Viewed from behind it bulges slightly beyond the gastrocnemius at each side (Fig.8.14 A). The many veins located especially in this muscle form part of the muscle pump designed to aid venous return to the top of the limb. It is innervated by the tibial nerve.

The popliteus muscle forms part of the floor of the popliteal fossa. It is triangular in shape, thin and flat in dimensions and is broadly attached to the posterior aspect of the medial surface of the tibia just above the soleal line.2
